Northbound I-75 lane closures Oct. 14 ahead of Zilwaukee Bridge early reopening in Saginaw County

SAGINAW, Mich. - The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is preparing to reopen all lanes of northbound I-75 on the Zilwaukee Bridge in Saginaw County on Tuesday, Oct. 14, after early completion of preventive maintenance.

Drivers should expect intermittent lane, shoulder and ramp closures throughout the project area during the morning into early afternoon hours as crews remove barricades and install new pavement markings.

Law enforcement will assist with traffic control. Motorists should expect delays. This work is weather-dependent.

This work was done as part of a $2.9 million investment in preventive maintenance on the Zilwaukee Bridge, which included expansion joint repair, deck patching and resealing. Work on the southbound side of the Zilwaukee Bridge was completed in June as a part of this project. This maintenance was necessary to improve and extend the service life of the structure.
